My first choice would be the London’s Larder but it seems to have ended. Have I made a mistake? I’d hoped to come on 23 May. Thanks for asking me again as I was so sorry about yesterday evening.

On Footprints Shakespeare ACT II walks you can visit Southwark Cathedral where there is the glorious Shakespeare stained glass window in the southern aisle of the nave.
The window, designed by Christopher Webb, features characters from Shakespeare’s plays, including Richard III. The last Plantaganet king is depicted in his death throes after being unseated from his horse at the Battle of Bosworth Field. Neil

Comment on Who was Britain’s worst monarch? by Rob

Going back a bit but I’d nominate Ethelred the Unready. Spends the countries gold trying to appease the Danes, then when that doesn’t work orders the St Bryce’s Day massacre – the killing of all Danes living in the country. This act of genocide causes a brutal response from the Vikings who invade laying waste to large parts of East Anglia, undoing the work of King Edgar. Incompetent, weak and murderous – its a pretty bad combination.

This is a really hard question, as there are so many to choose from. My favourite bad monarch would be Charles I – he led the country into Civil War, which led to the death of so many, and I think had few if any redeeming features, other than establishing the basis of a modern Monarchy.
